8BitBoy™

Summary: I liked the game. I would recommend this game if you like casual mixed with don't get hit ever (if you play it normally not caring you can see the issues i point out and the favoring towards getting the black power-up over the rest and/or dying till it resets to black after losing it). Platforming was easy minus a few sections of some levels where being very precise was needed. Story: I liked the story. Wasn't one of flashy lights and heartbreak. Which I liked. Also "8 -12 hours of story" in description. It is like 10 min at most. There are 8 -12 hours of platforming. No story in the platforming. Graphics: I liked them. It gave a retro vibe. When I think retro I think pixel so it was a bit more modern retro for me. It's alright though. Power ups: Oh boy the title of this game says "several" (a number greater than 2 or 3 but not by much by definition of several ) there are 3 power ups green, red, black and if you want to count shield we can but my point is there is no difference you get hit all those power ups no matter if you got a green lowest or black highest you lose them all. It doesn't knock you down a stage. The one power up ( 3 stages: green, red, black) you get in the game was in my opinion very annoying. If you get hit you lose all 3 stages of it. I got hit a lot. I found you can just die and lose all your lives and restart the level with the power up (you had when you first started the level). So yeah I purposely died a lot as a result of getting hit. This black power-up makes the boss fights at the end of the world's easier and the levels easier. Level Design: There was no repeating levels that I noticed (the layout). I will note levels do have lots of hidden locations. They are not worth going to. Literally they give you coins & one of the three power up and if you don't have max (black) you will get the power ups just speeding to the end. There are some very precise jumps that are quite difficult but other than that easy platforming. Bosses:The Bosses repeated themselves. Now yes they did change up the color of the boss and the attacks it could do a little bit. It was still the same boss. They where moderately difficult but not super hard. Controls: I often have trouble with platformers cause of the "sliding." In this game I wasn't sliding (yes controllers I know are not precise) but this one had a lot better handle on my character than in some platformers i have played. Or I got better at platformers. Just shoot and jump. Nothing special. Achievement Hunter's: No achievement's sadly.

Not an inherently bad indie game ripping off Mario, but it's frustrating controls and design choices make me question my life choices

Easy recommendation for any Mario fan.

I mean, not the worst out there, but the market is full of great 2D sidescrollers. You are better off looking elsewhere.
